And Now Our Watch Is Ending Text by Isaac FeldbergDesign and development by Patrick GarvinPhotos courtesy of HBO April 10, 2019 Asking a “Game of Thrones” fan what’s happened so far on the HBO fantasy epic is like asking a Christian what you missed in both the Old and New Testaments. Yes, the short and correct answer is just “fire, sex, murder, and the occasional resurrection,” but let them elaborate any further than that, and you’ll be there all day.As “Thrones” enters its endgame Sunday, even die-hard fans could use a refresher on the past seven seasons, to remember who killed who, which alliances are going strong, and whose flings wouldn’t fly in all but three U.S. states (hint: most of them).Some background: 17 years ago, Robert Baratheon rebelled against the Targaryen dynasty, seizing control of Westeros and exiling Daenerys and Viserys Targaryen across the Narrow Sea. When Robert’s adviser Jon Arryn dies suspiciously, … [Read more...] about What happened on ‘Game of Thrones,’ seasons 1-7

Sen. Bernie Sanders is planning blowout rallies up and down California this weekend, including one in San Francisco on Sunday afternoon. Sen. Amy Klobuchar met with local leaders in San Francisco on Tuesday afternoon for an event about climate change. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard and entrepreneur Andrew Yang met supporters in Fremont and San Francisco last weekend, while South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is hitting the Bay Area next week.

Kamala Harris is building a wall around California. The Democratic senator has been activating her forces on the home front since launching her White House bid last month — cornering some of the state’s most prolific donors, locking down big endorsements and homing in on a statewide blueprint to rack up early delegates.Story Continued Below California’s Super Tuesday primary is foundational to Harris’ plans to win the nomination. Her home-state advantage is an enormous asset, holding the promise of a huge haul of delegates early in the nomination fight. At the same time, a poor performance there could end her bid. Well aware there’s no guarantee of success, Harris and her team of longtime operatives there started working the state long before many of her 2020 Democratic rivals arrived for their first fundraisers and retail campaign stops. Harris has already held seven fundraisers in the Golden State, lined up endorsements from Gov. Gavin Newsom plus dozens … [Read more...] about California’s move to Super Tuesday hands Harris a big edge in 2020

Former vice president Joe Biden tells his Democratic audiences the election is the most important of his lifetime. But on Nov. 6, the election really comes down to a few dozen House and Senate races — out of hundreds — around the country. These are the contests that will likely decide which party controls Congress — and, as a result, either bolster or hinder the president’s agenda.Here are the key races to watch on election night to see which way the wave is moving: Senate Advertisement First, the basics: Democrats need to flip a net of two seats for the majority — but that’s going to be difficult to pull off given the states where the party’s members are seeking reelection. … [Read more...] about Here’s your ultimate cheat sheet of House and Senate races to watch on election night

It was an awful weekend of hate-fueled violence, ugly rhetoric, and worrisome retreats from our democratic ideals. Today I’m focused on two ways of framing what we’re seeing, from the United States to Brazil. While neither offers any comfort, they do give helpful names to phenomena I expect will be with us for a long while. The first is stochastic terrorism: “The use of mass, public communication, usually against a particular individual or group, which incites or inspires acts of terrorism which are statistically probable but happen seemingly at random.” I encountered the idea in a Friday thread from data scientist Emily Gorcenski, who used it to tie together four recent attacks. In her thread, Gorcenski argues that various right-wing conspiracy theories and frauds, amplified both through mainstream and social media, have resulted in a growing number of cases where men snap and commit violence. “Right-wing media is a gradient pushing rightwards, toward … [Read more...] about Why social media is friend to far-right politicians around the world
